Book 6 of The Parker’s 12 Days of Christmas
The best laid plans can often go terribly wrong and that is what appears to be happening for Talon and Charlotte. They have been going out together and in love for over four years since Freshman year and they are now studying for their finals. Talon’s behaviour has changed lately and Charlotte is very worried but he won’t give her any clue. When her parents come for a meal and her dad asks Talon when the wedding is going to be you could almost feel Charlotte’s anguish as Talon evades the question. They have a night out with their best friends and Charlotte confides saying that she thinks that he is cheating on her. Talon does have a secret – but you know that I’m not going to tell you what it is! He does, however, tell her dad saying it is essential to keep this a secret just till Christmas. The next day Charlotte and Talon have a major fight and she leaves him. Talon is broken and so is she. Ali and Weston parker as well as Blythe and Zoey Reid have really given us a potentially heart breaking story here. It is so well written and you can almost feel the tension in the room when her dad asks when the wedding is? The thing is that Talon is the ‘perfect’ boyfriend: caring, loving; protective; considerate; good looking; generous [well on student terms] and will do anything for Charlotte. She should remember all this before storming off. This was a real page turner that I couldn’t put down until I’d found out what was going on behind the scenes. Well worth the missed sleep to find out!
DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED.
